Recap: The group has returned to New Island were they were called to gather. The destined heroes are heading into one of those discussions on why they are really in the castle. And they finally get to meet this master of the castle they keep hearing about. But not so far from New Island, Team Rocket are hot on their trail, and won't stop til they get what they want. Trouble is brewing over the horizon, and a mystery person knows the time is soon coming….
~*~*~*~
They all sat there waiting for the Prof. to talk. The chairs were occupied, but some empty seats were left. Misty sat on the chair next to the Headmaster's. Prof. Oak sat on the other side. On Misty's row were Melody, Casey, Duplica and Gary, in that order. Ash, Richie, Tracey and Brock sat across with the Prof. They all sat there silently, waiting for something. Misty crossed her arms and was closing her eyes. The others where admiring this large room. "Why don't you speak, old man?" Misty mumbled in her low tone. It made everyone in the room look at her than at the Prof.
Prof. Oak grinned at her and shook his head. "Well, four of you know half of the story why you're here. I'll just put it this way. It's because of this ancient Prophecy." He turned to see their faces. All of them were eager to know and pay attention. Well, except for a certain girl. "Let me tell you of this Prophecy, or rather, you should read it. I have to attend to something first. If you have any question, my dear girls here, will answer them." Prof. patted her shoulder, but Misty shrugged it off. The old man sighed, but ignored her. He pressed a button, and like before the table opened op to reveal 3D screen, with written words. The man left the group to their own, while reading this Prophecy.
Misty has read the thing over and over, trying to fully understand it. She played her part in this prophecy. She searched for them, and now all the others have to do, is train to become a Mystic Trainer. But, Misty knew that the Prophecy still had more to say. 'They are hiding something from me…' she thought.
"Misty!" called out Melody.
The young redheaded girl turned her head to look at the older girl next to her. "What?" she growled.
Melody sighed. "We were asking what is the Crystal Tear?" she repeated.
Misty closed her eyes and grunted. "It's this crystal that will find the chosen Mystic Trainers, or should I say, it knows who are the Mystic Trainers. It's a crystal that can track down who is the Trainers. Easy enough for you to understand?" she sneered at them.
"Crystal clear, ma'am." Casey jokingly saluted at her. It made the group snickers at the little joke.
Misty growled, "Any more questions?"
"Um, yeah, when lunch?" Ash said.
The group all laughed in the room. Misty slammed her hands on the table. "This is not a laughing matter. This is a serious job, that you immature people don't understand!" The whole room was quiet and they cowered down at her outburst.
Misty turned her head away from the group, and was still standing up, with her hands on the table. "Listen, you are here to train to become a Mystic Trainer. You guys have powers inside, that yet needs to be awaken." She clenched her hands into a fist. She was still not looking at them. And no emotion was emitted from her voice. She slowly turned her head to see that they were staring at her. "Team Rocket is about to destroy ever town in this country. They killed my blood parents, and I bet they murdered yours too. Cause, if your parents were still alive, then you wouldn't be here. You would already know what your mission of life is."
Ash felt hurt. He felt that she was hurt also. 'I'm not taking this seriously, am I? She's right, tough. My parents died when I was still an infant, so I have no clue how they looked like. But, if they were alive, then… I wouldn't be here. But then, I wouldn't have met my new friends or… Misty…' Suddenly Ash felt really hot, and that his cheeks were burning. 'Do I…do I …like her?' Ash shook his head from the thought that he admits to himself that he actually likes Misty, a person who doesn't give a care for a thing.
No one else dared not to speak. They would whisper to Brock, Tracey or Duplica for some answers to questions. Misty was already sitting down, just staring at the pop up screen with the prophecy. She was lost with in her own thoughts, not paying attention to the others in the room. They didn't want to bother with her for now. "So we're going to be training?" asked Richie to the two older boys next to him.
"Yeah, but I don't know WHO is going to train us." Replied Brock.
Ash put a finger on his chin. "But what are we going to be training?" he asked.
Tracey shrugged at that question. "Who knows?" The boy moved closer to his group. "But I think we are going to get through the same training as Misty."
The girls frown a bit. Gary found it a bit interesting, but feels kind of angered to be like Misty. 'But we don't understand why she is acting like that?' He looked towards Brock and Tracey. His voice became more of a whisper now. The group neared the boy. "Do you know why Misty is acting like this?" he asked a bit worried, but the others didn't seem to notice.
"The Prof. told us that she was found that way. When they first brought her in, they found her acting all, distant." Duplica's face softened.
Brock looked over to Misty. She seems like she wasn't paying attention to their conversation, which was true. Her eyes were lost and she was motionless. Then Brock faced his friends. Melody smiled at a thought. "Hey!" she burst out in a whisper. "I got an idea!" She said happily.
'Why do I feel this isn't going to be a good one?' Ash asked to himself.
"Are you paying attention Ash?" Melody frowned at the boy. Ash nodded quickly.
Melody smiled at looked at every one. They were all paying attention, even Gary. But he was laid back on his chair with his arms crossed. "Well, what I'm think is trying to get Misty to open up. I mean she isn't really such a bad person."
Duplica brightened up. "Yeah you're right. I mean, sure she my not like us that much, but… deep down inside I know she cares."
"Right! So what do ya say?" Melody looked at their expressions. Ash seemed to be not sure of this, neither were Richie and Gary. "Oh, come on. We just have to get her to trust us."
Casey nodded. "But it will be tough though."
"No worry! She's gullible when it comes to daring stuff. And she needs a lot of enthusiasm." Melody said, like she knows her very much. Honestly, everyone in the room sort of knows her very well. And they only have been with her for a few days only.
"I guess you're right. Plus, I kinda get a bit jumpy when I'm around her when she is staring at me." Brock shivered.
"I think it won't be that bad to make friends with her. She's strong, and I just want to know how she can keep her Pokemon in shape." Tracey pointed out.
Duplica nodded. "She's a girl in need, and I want to help her out in anyway, even is she is coldhearted. I mean, the ice has to melt someday."
"You're right. I kinda admire her strength." Casey smiled.
Melody proved her point and was glad they were up to her little scheme. She turned to the three younger boys. "So, what about it, guys? You're in or not?"
They seemed to be deciding if it was a good idea or not. 'Intruding into someone's life isn't right. But making friends is the happiest thing on earth with Pokemon on the side. Misty is a person who's just lost, and she needs friends.' Richie nodded.
Ash stared at Misty for a while. 'I guess I can help… But what's more important, friends or the World?' Ash smiled and nodded his head in agreement. Gary was the only one left, and just waved his hand as if he's into this. "Great!" Melody smiled widely.
"Hey look James, at that Island over there. Do you see it?" asked a woman.
James, the one who was piloting the helicopter, narrowed his eyes on a small piece of land not too far away. Built on top of it was a giant building, or some sort of an up dated castle. "Yeah I do. But who would want to live there?" asked James.
"I don't know, but it must be a very rich person at that. And plus!" There was a gurgling noise coming from the Cat Pokemon. "I'm hungry!"
Jessie patted her stomach. "I am too!"
"Let's go land there, and check out the place." Suggested Meowth.
James smirked and stirred the airborne machine towards the Island. "You read my mind Meowth."
The helicopter neared the only island in the middle of the ocean. There was like a landing pad near to the entrance. Team Rocket didn't know that they may be closer to the person they are suppose to capture.
A few minutes have past and the Prof. entered room, which made the group quiet. He looked at everyone as they just smiled back at him. He was a little curious on why they were looking at him that way. He saw Misty, and it seemed she was lost in her own world. "Did you guys and girls understand this Prophecy?"
They all nodded in unison and still had that weird smile. "Ok, well. I just had to check on a few things." The screen in the middle of the table shut off, and the table closed up. Suddenly the lights went dim, and Misty snapped out from her lost world. She narrowed her eyes on the master chair while the other teens were confused. "Our Master, would like to see you now. And maybe you can get some straight answers." Said Prof. Oak.
They all eagerly waited patiently for the Master to enter through the doors. Misty wasn't looking at the doors, but the Master Chair. Soon, a slight breeze entered the room, even though there was neither windows nor vents in there. A slight blue mist passed through the roof, unto the Master Chair. Soon, the mist turned into a bright blue light as a figure wit a solid form materialized on the chair. The group of teenagers gasped at the sight of…
The giant solid oak doors creaked eerily as it slowly opened. Three heads popped through the crack. They looked to one side, than to the other. "No one's here. Let's go." Whispered Jessie.
The evil trio walked inside and was fascinated at the interior decoration. "This is like a giant palace." Awed Meowth.
"Well… It is kinda bigger than my old home…" said James, while admiring the painted above.
The two face faulted. All of a sudden something hit them really hard on the back of their heads. Soon their world has been turned into black and it fell silent.
"Who-who are you?" asked Ash.
Everyone in the room was shocked at the sight on who was on the chair. It was no human, but was it a Pokemon? They weren't sure. It has a light lavender body, with serious looking violet eyes. It's tail hang loosely out of the chair. "It doesn't matter how my name is. But if you should call me anything, call me by my given name, Mewtwo." He spoke with out moving his lips.
"Are you… a Pokemon?" asked Brock.
It smirked at that question. "Why, yes. Yes I am. The people who created me said that I am a copy of the legendary Mew."
Every one was in full shock to hear what he said. 'A copy? Created? Mew?' those questions were running through their heads. "Um, sir… How is it you can speak to use?" asked Casey. 'I mean he is a Pokemon, right?'
"He's telepathic." Stated Misty with a hint of boredom in her tone. "Meaning, he is a psychic type, a very strong psychic type Pokemon. The creators made him to be just like an original Mew, but added a few things to make his an unbeatable Pokemon." She wasn't even looking at the group.
They let the entire information sink in. "If you don't mind me asking, sir, but who are your creators?" Duplica asked timidly.
Mewtwo smiled at the brave girl. He clenched his hand into a fist. "They were… scientists of Team Rocket. One man discovered an old fossil on what is said to be a Mew. The boss of Team Rocket found out that one of his scientists created a machine that can make copies of Pokemon. They stole the fossil from the man and murdered him. The boss wanted a strong Pokemon, stronger than the three legendary birds. So, they altered the copy of Mew and called me as Mewtwo. I'm like a second version of an original Mew. But, when I found out that I was going to be used for a tool of war, I didn't want that. I destroyed the lab, and their creators as well, and left the place. Then the Prof. found me. I found out that he found an old ruin with the prophecy. It was said that there was a way in stopping Team Rocket from destroying this world. So the Prof. and I took this prophecy into serious business. It just so happens that we found the old ruin in the old city of Cerulean, where we found little Misty." He looked at the redhead girl and smiled upon her. She just scowled at his kindness.
Melody looked at her, than back at Mewtwo. "How did you know that Misty had the Crystal Tear?" she asked.
The Pokemon chuckled a little. "First I didn't believe that she carried the item with in her, because of the lack of emotion the child carried in such a young age. The Prof. and I thought that child should be filled with emotion, and that the child would cry easily and such. But, when I looked into her eyes, I saw the Crystal Tear with in her. It may not be in the prophecy, but somewhere in the old ruins, it said that 'within the color of the Cerulean eyes of a child, it holds a shine of silver because, the Crystal shines through the child's eyes.' So we took her in. We decided to help her in her defenses, which made our job easier and faster. She showed no fear or weakness in her training, and she wanted to do this quicker and make the job done. It just so happens that, Misty can understand Pokemon."
"So that explains why she makes those weird looks at her Pokemon, while it is blabbing." Gary said sarcastically.
Richie frowned at Gary, "I think he's not lying, Gary. I think Misty can understand Pokemon speak."
"Oh yes, it's true. And she also has this ability to talk telepathically."
Tracey went wide eyes. "Like a Psychic?"
Mewtwo nodded. "It is an ability that she had when we released the Crystal Tear. So now it's your turn to play a part in this saga of destruction. Today we'll start your training. We'll take it easy at first, than it will become more difficult once your power level has rise. But first, we will unleash your hidden powers that you have kept inside for such a long time." Mewtwo stood up from his chair. The Pokemon must have been over 6ft tall. "Come, let us head to the training field."
It was dark. Wait. She had her eyes closed the whole time. When she opened her deep blue eyes, she was in an empty room. She tried to stir in her place, but found out she couldn't move at all. She saw her two other partners tied up with her. "Hey, wake up! We've been had." She hissed in a harsh tone.
James opened his eyes and found out where he was. "What happened?"
The cat Pokemon woke up and said with a groan, "My head hurts."
"Seems like someone knew we were coming." Stated Jessie.
"But who?" asked the older man.
A figure stepped in to the room with a tray of food. The lady wore a nurse's uniform, but the colors were dark. The colors, violet and blue, really showed the beauty of the pink hair color that the lady had. She bent down and placed the tray down. She weakly smiled at them. "You three are intruders to this castle. But don't worry, you'll leave this place sooner or later." She spoke.
'Is that Nurse Joy? But something is different, maybe it's her clothes.' Thought Jessie.
Nurse Joy walked out of the room, and the clang of a lock sound echoed in the room. "I'm guessing this is a cell." Said Meowth. His claws grew and scratched his way free from the ropes. James and the cat both lunged to the food and swallowed the food down. "Man I'm so hungry!" said James as he chewed his food.
Jessie picked up a piece of food and bit into the food. "Yeah, me too. But, we have to think of a way to get out of here!" Jessie stood up and studied the room carefully.
"Oh, come on Jessie. Let's just stay here for a while. No one is going to miss us. Plus we have all the time in the world to finish our mission." Stated James.
Meowth swallowed down the lump of food. "Jimmy is right. C'mon, this is better than Jail actually."
Jessie sighed out in defeat and just simply nodded his head. "Fine."
The group of teenagers gathered around on the field of grass. Mewtwo and Prof. Oak stood there as the head. "Now let's awaken your powers. Usually it would take the time when you're at the age of 20 for them to fully awaken. But we don't have much time. Since we have the carrier of the Crystal Tear, it would awaken in no time." Said the master of the castle.
He looked at Misty as she stood up. She didn't like this but did it any ways. Misty raised her hands in a position over her breasts. First there was a shine, than a glow appeared in the middle of her chest, where the heart is. Soon the crystal appeared, and it shined brightly as the group awed at the beautiful item. Misty closed her eyes and mouthed out some words. The group opened their eyes widely at a strange feeling burning inside of them, coming from their hearts. Ash looked down to his chest and saw a spot glowing through his shirt. A blast of power emerged from that spot and surrounded his whole body. They all saw their own auras blanketing their bodies. It felt warm and comforting, like there is nothing to be afraid of. Misty opened her eyes and the Crystal disappeared.
Ash looked around the room and saw many colors surrounding his friends. He looked down at his arm, and saw that he had a red crimson glow. Brock has a brownish color while Tracey was glowing in a green color. Richie was freaking out at his yellow glow, as Gary just smirked at his blue aura. Melody was in a pink aura, Duplica is surrounded by a purple color and Casey was glowing in orange. Ash looked at Misty and saw her aura that was way bigger than theirs. He also felt a strong force coming from her. Ash smiled at her for she looks… beautiful surrounded by her Silver aura. 'Did I saw beautiful!?' Ash shook his head. 'I can't be falling for her! Ah!!' he messed up his hair as she gritted in a low growl.
"Hey, what' wrong with you?" whispered Brock.
Ash stood stiff while trying to hide his blushing. He furiously shook his head. "Nothing!" he squeaked. Brock nodded his head and just brushed it off. "So, what now?" asked Casey.
"Tell me, how do you feel, now?" asked Mewtwo while smiling.
Melody looked around herself. "Well, I feel different than before."
Duplica wrapped her arms around herself. "I think this feeling is warm and… I feel safe."
"Well, all you need to do is train our your powers, but for now we'll just stick to sharpening your fighting skills." Mewtwo said to them. "When Team Rocket attacks, they don't just fight with their Pokemon, but also they fight hand-on hand combat."
Prof. Oak came in front with some devices in his hands. "A Year ago, I've noticed how well Misty could fight and she really did know a lot of tricks. So I examined her, and made a copy of her brain waves on combat skills. With this, you can learn how to easily kick those Team Rockets down." He handed them the small mechanic devises. "You just have to put them behind your ear, and press the red button and you'll be set."
Gary placed it behind his ear and pressed the button like the old man said. He felt a jolt of a shock went through his brain. It's like he knew how to fight that he trained so hard to be a good one, but he didn't. He looked at Misty and couldn't feel bad for her. All her hard work on training to be a good fighter paid off, but this group didn't work hard but got it easy. The Prof. came up to the boy and Gary looked down at him. His hand was outstretched towards him. He saw the devises in his hand. "You can give it back to me. The skill for fighting is already there, so there is no need for you to keep that behind our ear." Gary took off the thing and gave it back to the old man.
"Do you want to test out your new abilities?" Asked Mewtwo.
They all looked at each other anticipating to try it out. "Sure." Brock spoke for the group.
"Let's do a team Battle." Suggested Duplica.
"Yeah! Girls against boys." Said Melody with a smirk.
The Prof. counted them all. "But there is only three of you girls and five of them."
Casey put her hands on her hips. "So. But you counted wrong, there is four of us girls." She pointed at Misty.
The boys' mouths gaped open at the girl. "But…" they protested.
"Come on! What do you say, Misty?" asked Melody. The two girls came up to her with pleading eyes. "Misty?"
The red head girl felt stuck in a corner. She couldn't stand them, so she shrugged. "Fine."
The three girls held hands yelling I joy. "We are so going to kick your butts!" pointed Duplica.
The boys all sighed. "Let's get this over with." Sighed Ash.
Mewtwo and the Prof. smiled and walked out to a side of the room. They entered this other smaller room, where there was a window. They can see what's going on out their in the field, but the teens can't see the two observers. Soon the big field turned into a plain white room. It seems like there was an endless void. They couldn't tell where the walls where or if they are even standing on a floor. "Time to fight!" Duplica went into a fighting stance and smirked at the boys.
To Be Continued…
